Depends upon spring rates, dampers and damper settings. Mine is great with 275/200, AGX at 2/2.

Do the ground control setting come factory set per your request or do you do it yourself or have a shop do it for you .... I want a comfortable street ride ...

Yeah, I want a comfortable street ride with a nice drop as well. Can this be possible if I use the stock shocks?

You select the springs. You have to combine them with your own dampers and figure out the settings yourself or with the help of others.

Ok, so I have the AGX's too. Do I select a spring rate when I order them ? Sorry If this sounds like a dumb question. After getting the Intrax I wantto make sure I get this right this time ...

I don't want to bounce up and down anymore.

My friends are calling be " Bobble Head Shawn "

Nobody does anything for you. When you get the GC's, you have to select what height you want and you have to determine what dampening you want. Bobble Head Shawn, ha ha :hehehe: :hehe:

I know what you mean. A friend of my had some coilovers and he had some shocks too. But he had his car extra low and the ride was so firm, so you could se his head bounce like he was in a lowrider or something. I used to ride around with some lowering springs and no shocks and thought I could get away with it. Nope, just bouncing around like a basketball.

damn so theres no way of getting around new shocks? What are my other options besides the expensive set-ups such as tein, JIC, B&G etc..
What shocks do you recommend to buy for the p11? Is there any other way to go without buying new shocks? I want a drop (1.75 or so) with a non-bouncy smooth ride. I don't plan on going over 450-500 dollars.

I know what you mean about have a low smoothe ride. I hated the fact that the Tein's were so much. At first I was thinking of getting the GC's with the GAB struts. But found out you can't get GAB struts and they have a harsh ride. I also heard that GC's have some problem being mounted properly or something, and someone said they squeak. Koni will have some struts out I think 12/22/01. I know it is sometime in DEC. But they aren't adjustable. Here is how I thought. I want the least amount of trouble getting what I wanted, which was a drop about 2''s, not making the ride too bouncy. So TEIN is the only way to go. I already got my springs, just waiting on the struts and I'm gonna be low. Just weigh your options.

So how will the ride be if I put GC's and lower with the GC's about an 1.5" and keep the stock shocks on a 2002 sport

Shitty

So are you trying to say that unless you don't spend more than like $800, don't expect to get a smooth ride??

are the OEM Infiniti G20 Struts that weak?? All my friends are riding with stock struts and lowering springs and the ride is smooth along with a nice drop. of course they don't own g20's but????
